All Quiet On The Homefront

Mainly because I can't speak right now. Today was temporary crown day. Have I mentioned before that I love my dentist? It takes quite a bit to get me numbed up, especially with the fibro, and he has the patience of a saint. I never even felt the first shot - he uses a topical first - and as he worked, if I felt anything, he hit me with the shot again.

It was kind of funny - they had to go under the gum, so there was bleeding, and he put a piece of gauze in my mouth and told me to bite down. As soon as my teeth touched the gauze, I stopped biting - he said it was ok, it was just gauze, not his finger - to which I replied I had thought it was my tongue. Didn't really mind if it was his finger, lol. (And yes, I was just kidding.)

So tonight, I'm swollen from all the shots and my tooth hurts. He gave me a good prescription though, so I'm clock-watching 'til the next pill. I can't talk but I can type, so I've been busy reading blogs. And while I was getting my prescription filled, I picked up this....

I haven't bought a quilt magazine in so long, but my friend Wendy Sheppard from Ivory Spring has two quilts in here, and I want to make them both!

Excuse the pics, the magazine is sitting on my lap - I'm still cold from the nitrus and wrapped up in a quilt. Aren't those quilts lovely? You can see MUCH better pics and lots more over on Wendy's blog. She's really an amazing designer, and quilter - the results she gets on her domestic machine must be seen to be believed!

Like I said, I haven't bought a quilt magazine in years, but after what I went through this afternoon I decided I deserved a treat. There are days when I wonder what on earth we need teeth for. I'm sure I could eat chocolate cake without them.

Now I'm going to go watch Everyone Loves Raymond and dream over my quilt magazine...have a good night everyone!

Those quilts are beautiful...I especially love the first one. I'm going to have to go look for that magazine. And since I'm trying to lose weight, that's how I treat myself, too...with a new magazine. Just add a cup of tea and I'm a happy camper!

When I read Fiona's comment "Are you going to make nestlings" I immediately thought of you making a nest in a quilt while you watched the TV. I quickly realised she was referring to the cute quilt with the bird nest in the tree. I love anything with birds. You must be on the mend if you are dreaming of what you can make next.Cheers,Val

That Nestlings quilt is beautiful!!Hope you're feeling better soon, I had four wisdom teeth pulled in one sitting a few years ago and I got to sit around the house and feel sorry for myself for a whole week!

I know you tooth pain all to well. Ouchie!!!Glad you got yourself a little pressie to help with the pain. Pretty quilt pictures are always good for that!Her quilts are incredible!Sending happy thoughts and prayers for your tooth to behave itself! :)xx, shell

I hope you feel better soon. Nothing's worse than sore teethe. One time I actually bit my tongue and boy did that hurt after the freezing came out. You know when you're not biting down on the gauze, it just feels different.

I hope you are good now Allie. I know what it's like when they can't get you numb. One dentist told me I would just have to endure the pain. What! Another dentist told me I was wired differently. LOL The endodontist said, he could see why I was different than most. At least he noticed and put the shot in the right spot, so I wouldn't need 10 shots. Hurray! Have a lovely weekend and I'm praying for the Japanese victims. It's so devastating. I've been through a number of Earthquakes and they are frightening.

Oh, you poor sweet Allie-girl! {{{{hugs}}}} It's never nice when we need work on our teeth, but what a lovely dentist yours is to be so considerate. I *love* those quilts! Have never seen that magazine, so will need to do a hunt in Australia for it. I would dearly love to make the birdie in the tree one. :-)Rest my dear friend...Love and hugsJennyxxx
